What we're going to do now is have a look at other types of safety helmets. We've looked already on videos with the full-face helmet, but here, we've got an open-face crash helmet, and this here is for a motorcycle, but it's a very similar type of design that they use in the equestrian world, where they have a solid hard hat. The second one here is with a mountain climbing helmet, and the last one is a cycle helmet, we'll look at. Now, if you're the first responder, you need help when you're removing these helmets off of the patient. You're going to need to bring in a bystander. In this example, we're going to have the first responder, who's also got somebody else to help him, but this person doesn't know anything. You're going to have to listen to the actual commands he's giving in order to make sure that the helmet's removed in a safe manner.
Types of Safety Helmets
Introduction
Let's explore various types of safety helmets commonly used in different activities.
1. Open-Face Crash Helmet
Description: This type of helmet, commonly used in motorcycling and equestrian sports, provides protection while leaving the face exposed.
2. Mountain Climbing Helmet
Description: Designed for mountaineering activities, this helmet offers head protection in rugged outdoor environments.
3. Cycle Helmet
Description: Lightweight and aerodynamic, cycle helmets are essential for cyclists to prevent head injuries during rides.
Helmet Removal Assistance
Procedure
When removing helmets, especially in emergency situations, assistance may be required from bystanders. Follow these steps:
- First Responder: Provide verbal instructions and oversee the helmet removal process.
- Bystander: Assist the first responder by following their commands carefully, even if they have limited knowledge.
By collaborating effectively, the helmet can be safely removed without causing harm to the patient.
